Donald Trump addressed his supporters at the “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) rally in Washington, just hours before his inauguration. Criticizing the Biden administration’s tenure, Trump promised to restore America’s lost glory. “We will make our country greater than ever before. This mission begins tomorrow afternoon,” he declared.
Four years after leaving the White House, Trump returns with more experience and a new strategic team. Unlike his first term in 2017, when he lacked political or military background, Trump has now gained insights into legislation, diplomacy, and the effective use of presidential powers.
With the Republican Party holding a strong position in both chambers of Congress, Trump’s return is further bolstered. On the international front, many of his critics, such as Germany’s Angela Merkel and Canada’s Justin Trudeau, have left office or are nearing the end of their terms. Meanwhile, Trump has garnered support from leaders like Italy’s Giorgia Meloni, Argentina’s Javier Milei, and Hungary’s Viktor Orbán.
Acknowledging mistakes from his first term, Trump admitted appointing unsuitable individuals to key positions due to inexperience. Now, his team comprises seasoned and capable professionals. Trump also expressed confidence in managing relationships with global leaders like Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong-un, aiming for effective diplomacy in his second term.
